W Natural History of Striped Skunks The striped skunk is a boldly colored nocturnal animal whose defense is a very strong smelling spray. It has glands which hold about a tablespoon of musky smelling methyl mercaptan. This is enough to allow the skunk to spray five or six times. It stamps its feet, growls, hisses, turns its back, and raises its tail straight up when it is about to spray. It can spray up to 15 feet and the smell can carry a mile. If the spray gets in the eyes, it causes pain.
